Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat hurt. It was found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are swollen and very painful, how should they be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor's advice and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Local medication can also be used, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate pain-relieving medication can be given. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
